The conversation revolves around the gut-brain connection, emphasizing how the gut is much more than a digestive organ — it’s deeply integrated with the immune, hormonal, and nervous systems. The guests discuss the bi-directional communication between the gut and brain, the subconscious impact of gut signals on emotions and behavior, and how modern drugs like GLP-1 mimic natural gut signals to regulate hunger and even reduce addictive behavior.
